"I just did a divination to see if I could deduce the reason why Haibulu escaped, but I found that there was a witchcraft force interfering with the divination."
Just when Qin Shaoyou was whispering curiously, Cui Youyou, who had been tinkering behind him, suddenly raised his head and said.
"Interference from the power of witchcraft? It seems that it should be the witchcraft around Haibulu." Qin Shaoyou judged, and at the same time looked back at Senior Brother Cui and saw that he was collecting turtle shells and copper coins.
Zhu Xiucai was a little suspicious: "That's not right, old Taoist, where did you get the birth date of Haibulu?"
"I found it at Jiaji's house last night." Cui Youyou explained, "Haibulu is Jiaji's son-in-law and married his two daughters at the same time. When they first asked Najib's name, the two parties exchanged birth dates and horoscopes.
"Jiaji recorded Haibulu's birth date in his genealogy, and I found it in the study. I looked through it secretly and wrote it down."
"As expected of a seasoned person, he always remembers to find his birth date. He is really professional." Monk Ma gave a thumbs up and praised him heartily.
When Cui Youyou heard this, he smiled proudly.
Qin Qiaoer carefully analyzed the reasons for the interference in divination:
"I guess Haibulu is afraid that the wild gods around Old Qingtang King will deduce the direction of his escape based on his birth date, or they may use evil magic to lock his position and confuse his mind.
So he asked his wizards to take precautions in advance."
Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and others all nodded, agreeing with Qin Qiaoer's guess.
Only Zhu Xiucai always focused on something different.
"Haibulu married a pair of sisters? Oh, this is really enviable."
"As for your body, don't be envious of it." Cui Youyou complained to him, then he raised his chest and head, and said: "Haibulu's arrangement is really powerful, it is enough to hide it from the people around the old Qingtang King.
Wild God, but for me, it’s still a little bit worse.”
"What's wrong with my body? My body is very good!"
Zhu Xiucai was like a dog whose tail was stepped on, jumping and arguing.
Then, he frowned and asked: "Hey, no, why are you so proud, old Taoist? Didn't you say that the divination was interfered with?"
"My divination has indeed been interfered with, but it's not all without gain."
Cui Youyou smiled proudly and wanted to pass it off, but when he saw Qin Shaoyou frowning and turning his head, as if he was looking for the crooked neck tree, he was startled and said hurriedly: "My divination finally captured some clues and gave a 'yes'
The hexagram "human beings are not human beings".
"Is it human or not?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this hexagram.
Qin Qiaoer frowned and thought: "What does this hexagram mean? Did Haibulu sneak out of the city through illusion, disguised as a ghost or animal?"
"It's probably not an illusion."
Qin Shaoyou rejected Sixth Sister's judgment and gave the reason.
"Last night, I specially stayed all night to patrol outside Jiaji Mansion. I found that the spy sent by Old Qingtang King to Jiaji Mansion was much more powerful and complicated than the one sent to our Zhuangzi. Moreover, he was in Jiaji Mansion.
There are many arrangements made outside Jiajie Mansion, including ones specifically for illusions. If Haibulu really relies on illusions, I am afraid that he will be exposed and targeted as soon as he leaves Jiaji Mansion."
Qin Qiaoer became more and more curious: "If it's not an illusion, how can we explain that this is a human and not a human? It's impossible. Haibulu really turned into a ghost? Or a half-human, half-animal monster?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head. He was also wondering and curious, but after all, there were too few clues for him to figure out the reason.
At the same time, more than thirty miles north of Qingtang Royal City, a dozen war horses were galloping on the official road.
However, there was not a single knight on the horseback.
One of the war horses looked up at the red moon hanging in the night sky, opened his mouth and neighed, then led the other war horses and galloped down the official road and rushed into a forest beside the road.
They ran straight into the depths of the woods, stopped, and then fell to the ground one after another.
Their bodies began to squirm strangely, as if something was about to come out of their bodies. At the same time, a large amount of fishy smell and blood flowed out from their seven orifices.
From the mouths of their horses, bursts of pained cries that were deliberately suppressed came out.
These sounds did not sound like horses hooting, but rather like human moans, especially when they were occasionally mixed with vulgar curses.
Soon, the belly of the leading horse was torn open from the inside by a pair of iron hands.
Immediately afterwards, a man covered in blood, with horse lungs, horse liver and other objects hanging on his body, and a horse heart in his mouth, emerged from the horse's belly.
A beam of light from the blood moon shone through the dense branches and leaves onto this man's face.
The face covered with blood was none other than Haibulu, who had asked Old Qingtang King to send a large number of men to search everywhere.
Just when Haibulu spat out the still pulsating horse heart in his mouth, the war horses behind him also had their bellies torn open. One by one, the confidants who were dressed the same as Haibulu started to cry.
It came out of the horse's belly.
After Haibulu took a deep breath, he wiped the blood from his face, turned back and glanced in the direction of Qingtang Royal City, and said to himself: "Sorcerer Kunsang's judgment is indeed correct, I am in Jiaji
We are like caged birds in our house. Even if we try to escape, we will be intercepted and killed by the demons and ghosts that have taken over Lao Qi's body. Hao Kunsang, the wizard, used the animal-making technique to turn us into war horses. This way we can hide it from the eyes of the demons and ghosts and take advantage of it.
He fled indiscriminately, but it was a pity for my loyal bodyguards..."
It turned out that the knights who left the city today were one person with two horses. The horse they were riding was a real horse, and the one they were holding was a horse transformed by Haibulu and others through the art of animal creation.
When the rickety old man and his younger brothers and sisters caught up with the group of knights, the knights immediately launched a suicidal attack on them. Haibulu and others took advantage of the chaos to escape.
At that time, the rickety old man and the others were not able to see that the war horses were transformed by Haibulu and others, so they did not stop them, but were busy subduing the group of knights.
By the time they discovered that Haibulu was not among the knights, Haibulu and others had already run away.
The rickety old man and others only thought that they had fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They never thought that there would be someone hidden inside the war horse. This allowed Haibulu and others to successfully escape.
Speaking of the animal-making technique used by Kunsang wizard, it is different from that used by the Black Lotus Sect.
The animal creation technique of the Black Lotus Sect is to completely grow dog skin on the bodies of those children, allowing them to transform from living people into real dogs step by step. Therefore, the Taoist priests of Yuhuang Temple need to use a long method to create animals.
Only with time and cumbersome methods can they become human beings again.
The animal creation technique used by Kunsang wizard was just to hide from the surveillance of the old Qingtang King and the pursuit of the wild god. The method used was relatively simple, and it was easier to escape and transform back into a human.
Hearing Haibulu's words, the close soldiers next to him hurriedly stepped forward and urged: "Your Majesty, let's leave quickly. When you return to northern Xinjiang, you will come back with the army to kill the evil spirits who have troubled the country. The dead brothers will be in Jiuquan."
Now I can feel relieved."
Under the current situation, Haibulu naturally followed the good advice and immediately nodded in response:
"That's right. Let's go quickly. More than ten miles to the north, there is a village with our people. After meeting with them, we can get fast horses. As long as we return to northern Xinjiang, I will
When fish enter the sea and birds fly into the sky, you no longer need to be afraid of the evil spirit that steals the country! When I return to the royal city and destroy the evil spirit, I will definitely erect monuments and carve stones for the dead guards so that future generations will know their loyalty and loyalty.
Martial."
After making this oath, Haibulu and a dozen personal guards ignored the horse corpses on the ground, determined their direction by the blood moon, and ran towards the village in the north.
Not long after they left, a group of hungry wild dogs smelled the smell of blood and came to the woods and ate the horse carcasses on the ground.
